This wonderful commentary on the North East Blackout was posted on a Kerry Yahoo Group Today:

For millions of Americans, including most of my family, the blackout stretching across the northeast yesterday provided a powerful reminder of the vulnerability and strains on the nation's energy supply.

I just wanted to point out to everyone the practical, powerful solutions John Kerry proposes in his energy policy.

His policy will improve national security by decreasing dependence on foreign oil. It will also improve the national economy while protecting the environment. It will create huge cost savings and reduce harmful pollutants by improving energy efficiency. At the same time, by promoting alternative technologies, it will create thousands and thousands of new high-tech jobs for Americans--if the US takes the lead, as John Kerry urges we must.
